Support the Java-impaired

I tried to download the Content Services documentation from the support site, including the Javadocs, but the Javadocs have to be downloaded as a .jar file. What do I do with the .jar file on my local machine in order to look at the **** thing. I am Java impaired. All I want to do is view the documentation.

You should be able to open the jar file with any "zip" program like winzip

I think we should make a category just for Smitty.

Or maybe share the filter that IW uses to ignore his questions. :-)

If you're near a TeamSite installation, there should be a "jar" program under IWHOME/tools/java.../bin.

If you're near a Solaris machine, there should be a "jar" program somewhere, like /usr/bin.

"jar" takes command-line args similar to "tar", so you probably want to run "jar xf <path/to/jar/file>".

Thank you. Nipper used to be my best friend. Now you are.

The Java impaired appreciate the help.

Hmm, not sure if being Smitty's best friend is something to aspire to Smiley Wink

Glad I could help,
